To learn more about the event and the need for such an event to take place in today’s climate, I spoke with two of the organizers, Suzanne Jay and Saba Malik.

Suzanne is a feminist activist and a member of Asian Women for Equality — a grassroots feminist group working to change societal attitudes towards women, especially women of Asian descent; to advance equality for Asian women; and to create opportunities for Asian women to have meaningful participation and to take leadership roles in civil society.

Saba is a radical revolutionary, a therapist, herbalist, and mother. She is a board member of the Fertile Ground Institute, a non-profit working for ecological and social justice.
